tax case, entitled the Mercantile Ma
tional Bank of the city of New York
against the Mayor. Aldermen and
commonalty of the city of New York,
and George w. Mclean, Receiver of
Taxes. This is one of the thirty-five
suits brought by the National Banks
of New York against the municipal
authorities of that city, to restrain the

ton to Section 5,219 of the Revised
Statutes OF the United States, which
requires that taxation of National
Banks shall not be at a greater rate
than is assessed upon other monied
CAPITAL in the hands Of individual citi-
zens of said State. This Court IN
swers that question in the negative,
and afirms the decree of the court be-
low In favor Oh tue Stdte.
